SUNRISE, Fla. – The Islanders will practice on Wednesday. This is a rarity of late.
“We haven’t practiced in, like, forever,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said after Monday night’s 5-1 win over the Lightning at Amalie Arena. “We’ve got to get in the rest. We’ve had some tough travel. But we’ve just got to balance it.”
The Islanders conclude a three-game trip against the Panthers on Thursday night at BB&T Center.
